20 Kiwi Beers on tap!!!!
I got there about 3:30 after work and got a paddle straight away.
First sample: Twisted Hop Sauvin Pils:nice light summery Pils- i gave it 7/10.
2nd sample:Emerson Bird Dog (Pale Ale): malty lookin. Nose- light but intense sweet passionfruit- gorgeous. T- different, sweet with spice.
3rd sample: Cock and Bull Monks Habit (US Red Ale/APA):a little funky for my tastes.
4th sample:Moa Five Hop (ESB/Strong Ale):more honey like than hoppy
5th sample:Croucher Patriot (American Black Ale): nice nose, bit like a red ale.
310ml of Yeastie Boys Rex Attitude (Peat-smoked Strong Golden Ale): wow!! Never had anything like it before- if you don't like the smell then you will struggle to get past it- i thought it was like a smoked ham hock- very unique sipper.
575ml 8 Wired Hopwired (New World Kiwi IPA):Had this before and I love it, great grapefruit flavour and aroma- classy, fruity and morish.
310ml Epic Hop Zombie (2IPA):fantastic sweet fruit nose, well rounded sipper that wasn't as bitter on the hop front as i thought it might be.
Finished off with another 8 Wired Hopwired!!
Some high alcohol brews- very enjoyable.
